rules
Build screens as a sequence of editorial spreads: a dominant feature story column, sharply framed supporting sidebars, and narrative modules that feel arranged by pacing rather than homogeneous dashboard symmetry.
Headlines should announce sections at poster scale, secondary decks explain the speculative premise, and tertiary metadata relies on compact monospace labels and ruled separators to keep dense information scannable.
High-density but intentional; pack information tightly inside panel systems, then release pressure with oversized margins, full-bleed pull quotes, and isolated illustration moments.
layout
Desktop uses a 12-column editorial grid with a dominant 7-column story well, a 3-column dossier rail, and flexible micro-panels nested inside. Tablet collapses to 8 columns; mobile becomes a single narrative stack.
Desktop 1440px+, tablet 768px–1023px, mobile 375px–767px with explicit reflow for masthead, metrics, and action clusters.
Whitespace behaves like magazine pacing: tight interior spacing inside data modules, then generous gutters and sectional breaks between narrative beats.
guidance
- Use cream and black as the constant base, then inject magenta and cobalt as sharp poster accents.
- Pair expressive serif headlines with rigid monospace metadata to keep the editorial-computational contrast visible.
- Let illustration patterns support hierarchy, especially in hero and pull-quote zones, without obscuring functional content.
- Do not revert to neon-on-black cyberpunk lighting or glassmorphism.
- Do not soften the system with pill-heavy rounded components or pastel gradients.
- Do not arrange every module as identical dashboard cards with interchangeable headers.

# Avant-Comics Sci‑Fi Editorial ## Philosophy A speculative interface language that treats the product screen like a serialized science-fiction spread: cream paper surfaces, dense black editorial typography, acid poster accents, and comic-panel framing that turns dashboards into narrative artifacts. ### Values - Narrative sequencing over neutral utility - Print contrast and typographic authority - Illustrated speculation inside functional UI - Energetic poster color used with disciplined restraint ### Anti-Values - Soft anonymous SaaS minimalism - Blue-glow cyberpunk defaults - Frictionless but visually forgettable component grids ### Visual Character - Cream paper backgrounds are overprinted with dense black rules, halftone radial bursts, and offset registration blocks so the entire interface feels like an editorial proof sheet rather than a luminous glass dashboard. - Primary headlines use a high-contrast editorial serif at oversized scale while labels, timestamps, and controls switch to compressed uppercase monospace, creating a magazine-like hierarchy with explicit typographic gear changes. - Cards and panes are framed like comic panels with thick black borders, clipped corner notches, and acid magenta or cobalt sidebars that behave like printed spot colors rather than full-surface gradients. - Ink-style illustration motifs—orbital diagrams, hatch textures, star maps, and contour line bursts—sit behind and around functional modules to give each screen the feeling of speculative publishing instead of product-neutral chrome. ## Tokens ### Colors | Name | Value | |------|-------| | primary | `#D4148E` | | secondary | `#1547D1` | | accent | `#FF4FD8` | | background | `#F4EBD9` | | surface | `#FFF8EC` | | text | `#101010` | | muted | `#6B6258` | | border | `#161616` | | error | `#C2392F` | | success | `#117A55` | | warning | `#C48712` | | info | `#235EE8` | ### Typography - **Heading Font**: Bodoni Moda - **Body Font**: Instrument Serif - **Mono Font**: Space Mono - **Base Size**: 16px - **Scale Ratio**: 1.25 - **Line Height**: 1.55 - **Letter Spacing**: 0.01em - **Google Fonts Url**: https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=Bodoni+Moda:opsz,wght@6..96,600;6..96,700;6..96,800&family=Instrument+Serif:ital@0;1&family=Space+Mono:wght@400;700&display=swap ### Spacing - **Base**: 8px - **Scale**: [4,8,12,16,24,32,48,64] ### Radii - **None**: 0 - **Sm**: 8px - **Md**: 16px - **Lg**: 24px - **Full**: 9999px ### Shadows - **Sm**: 6px 6px 0 rgba(16,16,16,0.08) - **Md**: 10px 10px 0 rgba(16,16,16,0.12) - **Lg**: 16px 16px 0 rgba(16,16,16,0.16) ### Surfaces - **Treatment**: paper - **Card Style**: Warm cream paper panels with black keylines, occasional halftone bursts, and spot-color edge bands that mimic print overlays and editorial paste-up. - **Bg Pattern**: noise ### Borders - **Default Width**: 2px - **Accent Width**: 5px - **Style**: solid - **Character**: Borders are assertive inked frames: thick, black, rectangular, and often paired with clipped corners or vertical spot-color bars like comic panel dividers. ### Motion - **Duration**: 220ms - **Easing**: cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.9, 0.2, 1) - **Philosophy**: snappy ## Rules ### Composition Build screens as a sequence of editorial spreads: a dominant feature story column, sharply framed supporting sidebars, and narrative modules that feel arranged by pacing rather than homogeneous dashboard symmetry. ### Hierarchy Headlines should announce sections at poster scale, secondary decks explain the speculative premise, and tertiary metadata relies on compact monospace labels and ruled separators to keep dense information scannable. ### Density High-density but intentional; pack information tightly inside panel systems, then release pressure with oversized margins, full-bleed pull quotes, and isolated illustration moments. ### Signature Patterns - Every major module uses a thick black border paired with a clipped or notched corner treatment so cards read like custom comic frames rather than rounded generic containers. - Section headers combine oversized serif headlines with uppercase monospace kicker labels and double-rule underlines, creating an unmistakable editorial spread rhythm. - Acid magenta or cobalt vertical sidebars appear as print registration bands on key cards, buttons, and callouts instead of conventional filled accents. - Backgrounds and figure zones use halftone dots, hatch lines, and orbital diagram strokes rendered in CSS gradients and pseudo-elements to simulate ink illustration without images. ## Layout ### Grid Desktop uses a 12-column editorial grid with a dominant 7-column story well, a 3-column dossier rail, and flexible micro-panels nested inside.

# Avant-Comics Sci‑Fi Editorial
## Overview
A speculative interface language that treats the product screen like a serialized science-fiction spread: cream paper surfaces, dense black editorial typography, acid poster accents, and comic-panel framing that turns dashboards into narrative artifacts.
### Values
- Narrative sequencing over neutral utility
- Print contrast and typographic authority
- Illustrated speculation inside functional UI
- Energetic poster color used with disciplined restraint
### Anti-Values
- Soft anonymous SaaS minimalism
- Blue-glow cyberpunk defaults
- Frictionless but visually forgettable component grids
### Visual Character
- Cream paper backgrounds are overprinted with dense black rules, halftone radial bursts, and offset registration blocks so the entire interface feels like an editorial proof sheet rather than a luminous glass dashboard.
- Primary headlines use a high-contrast editorial serif at oversized scale while labels, timestamps, and controls switch to compressed uppercase monospace, creating a magazine-like hierarchy with explicit typographic gear changes.
- Cards and panes are framed like comic panels with thick black borders, clipped corner notches, and acid magenta or cobalt sidebars that behave like printed spot colors rather than full-surface gradients.
- Ink-style illustration motifs—orbital diagrams, hatch textures, star maps, and contour line bursts—sit behind and around functional modules to give each screen the feeling of speculative publishing instead of product-neutral chrome.
## Colors
Use the YAML color tokens as the normative palette. The prose below names the roles agents should preserve when generating UI.
| Token | Value |
|-------|-------|
| primary | `#D4148E` |
| secondary | `#1547D1` |
| accent | `#FF4FD8` |
| background | `#F4EBD9` |
| surface | `#FFF8EC` |
| text | `#101010` |
| muted | `#6B6258` |
| border | `#161616` |
| error | `#C2392F` |
| success | `#117A55` |
| warning | `#C48712` |
| info | `#235EE8` |

- **Character**: Borders are assertive inked frames: thick, black, rectangular, and often paired with clipped corners or vertical spot-color bars like comic panel dividers.
## Components
### Composition
Build screens as a sequence of editorial spreads: a dominant feature story column, sharply framed supporting sidebars, and narrative modules that feel arranged by pacing rather than homogeneous dashboard symmetry.
### Hierarchy
Headlines should announce sections at poster scale, secondary decks explain the speculative premise, and tertiary metadata relies on compact monospace labels and ruled separators to keep dense information scannable.
### Density
High-density but intentional; pack information tightly inside panel systems, then release pressure with oversized margins, full-bleed pull quotes, and isolated illustration moments.
### Signature Patterns
- Every major module uses a thick black border paired with a clipped or notched corner treatment so cards read like custom comic frames rather than rounded generic containers.
- Section headers combine oversized serif headlines with uppercase monospace kicker labels and double-rule underlines, creating an unmistakable editorial spread rhythm.
- Acid magenta or cobalt vertical sidebars appear as print registration bands on key cards, buttons, and callouts instead of conventional filled accents.
- Backgrounds and figure zones use halftone dots, hatch lines, and orbital diagram strokes rendered in CSS gradients and pseudo-elements to simulate ink illustration without images.
## shadcn/ui Usage
When the target app uses shadcn/ui, copy DESIGN.md with shadcn instead of the plain DESIGN.md. It contains the same Katagami design-language source plus the shadcn/ui primitives, imports, theme variables, component recipes, and preview-shot guidance.
DESIGN.md with shadcn: `/language/en-019da326-a4d0-77a0-abdb-b4cf7de00581/DESIGN.with-shadcn.md`.
The shadcn page also exposes optional machine-readable files for automation, but the human-facing handoff is DESIGN.md with shadcn.
Install recommended primitives with `npx shadcn@latest add button card input textarea select dialog sheet tabs badge separator checkbox switch slider tooltip dropdown-menu table`.
Use these primitives in shadcn apps:
- button
- card
- input
- textarea
- select
- dialog
- sheet
- tabs
- badge
- separator
- checkbox
- switch
- slider
- tooltip
- dropdown-menu
- table
Implementation rule for agents: import shadcn primitives from `@/components/ui/*`, apply the generated CSS variables first, then compose the language-specific recipes from the companion MD. Katagami remains the source of truth; shadcn names are the implementation surface.
## Do's and Don'ts
- Do Use cream and black as the constant base, then inject magenta and cobalt as sharp poster accents.
- Do Pair expressive serif headlines with rigid monospace metadata to keep the editorial-computational contrast visible.
- Do Let illustration patterns support hierarchy, especially in hero and pull-quote zones, without obscuring functional content.
- Don't Do not revert to neon-on-black cyberpunk lighting or glassmorphism.
- Don't Do not soften the system with pill-heavy rounded components or pastel gradients.
- Don't Do not arrange every module as identical dashboard cards with interchangeable headers.

# Avant-Comics Sci‑Fi Editorial shadcn/ui Components
Artifact: `component-recipes-v1`
Author: `katagami-ui-projection`
Language ID: `en-019da326-a4d0-77a0-abdb-b4cf7de00581`
Slug: `avant-comics-sci-fi-editorial`
## Intent
A speculative interface language that treats the product screen like a serialized science-fiction spread: cream paper surfaces, dense black editorial typography, acid poster accents, and comic-panel framing that turns dashboards into narrative artifacts.
## Required primitives
- button
- card
- input
- textarea
- select
- dialog
- sheet
- tabs
- badge
- separator
- checkbox
- switch
- slider
- tooltip
- dropdown-menu
- table
Install with `npx shadcn@latest add button card input textarea select dialog sheet tabs badge separator checkbox switch slider tooltip dropdown-menu table`.
## Token cues

"primary": "#D4148E",
"secondary": "#1547D1",

"error": "#C2392F",
"success": "#117A55",
"warning": "#C48712",
"info": "#235EE8"
}
Typography:
{
"heading_font": "Bodoni Moda",
"body_font": "Instrument Serif",
"mono_font": "Space Mono",
"base_size": "16px",
"scale_ratio": 1.25,
"line_height": 1.55,
"letter_spacing": "0.01em",
"google_fonts_url": "https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=Bodoni+Moda:opsz,wght@6..96,600;6..96,700;6..96,800&family=Instrument+Serif:ital@0;1&family=Space+Mono:wght@400;700&display=swap"
}
## Visual character to preserve
- Cream paper backgrounds are overprinted with dense black rules, halftone radial bursts, and offset registration blocks so the entire interface feels like an editorial proof sheet rather than a luminous glass dashboard.
- Primary headlines use a high-contrast editorial serif at oversized scale while labels, timestamps, and controls switch to compressed uppercase monospace, creating a magazine-like hierarchy with explicit typographic gear changes.
- Cards and panes are framed like comic panels with thick black borders, clipped corner notches, and acid magenta or cobalt sidebars that behave like printed spot colors rather than full-surface gradients.
- Ink-style illustration motifs—orbital diagrams, hatch textures, star maps, and contour line bursts—sit behind and around functional modules to give each screen the feeling of speculative publishing instead of product-neutral chrome.
## ShadSync visual profile

}
## Signature component recipes
### Button
Use `Button` for primary, secondary, outline, and ghost actions. Primary actions must expose the language's strongest contrast pair, while secondary and ghost actions should preserve the surface treatment instead of falling back to default neutral SaaS styling.
### Card
Use `Card`, `CardHeader`, `CardContent`, `CardFooter`, and `CardAction` as the main composition frame. Cards should demonstrate the language's surface, border, hierarchy, and density rules rather than appearing as generic rounded rectangles.
### Input and Textarea
Use `Input` and `Textarea` with visible focus rings, field labels, validation states, and the language's rhythm. Forms should show real product content, not placeholder-only controls.
### Select, Tabs, and Table
Use `Select`, `Tabs`, and `Table` to prove navigation, filtering, and dense data states. The table should show row rhythm, separators, hover/focus states, and an empty or status state when the language calls for it.
### Dialog and Sheet
Use `Dialog` for centered decisions and `Sheet` for contextual editing. Both should inherit the language's spacing, border, overlay, and motion rules.
## Preview shots
- `application-shell`: dashboard or workspace shell with navigation, cards, forms, and state badges.
- `detail-editor`: focused editing flow using input, textarea, select, switch/checkbox, dialog or sheet, and action buttons.
- `data-operations`: table-heavy operational view with tabs, dropdown menu affordances, badges, and destructive/empty states.
- Each preview shot must include a renderable `scene` payload with concrete headline, description, actions, and rows/fields/stats for the UI preview.
## Implementation contract
- Start from local `ui/src/components/ui` shadcn-style primitives; do not create a second component system.
- Apply `/katagami/shadcn/avant-comics-sci-fi-editorial/registry-theme.json` variables, then use these recipes for composition and state design.
- Preserve Katagami token names as source metadata; shadcn semantic names are only the export surface.
- Do: Use cream and black as the constant base, then inject magenta and cobalt as sharp poster accents.; Pair expressive serif headlines with rigid monospace metadata to keep the editorial-computational contrast visible.; Let illustration patterns support hierarchy, especially in hero and pull-quote zones, without obscuring functional content.
- Do not: Do not revert to neon-on-black cyberpunk lighting or glassmorphism.; Do not soften the system with pill-heavy rounded components or pastel gradients.; Do not arrange every module as identical dashboard cards with interchangeable headers.
## Copy-paste component example
This generated starter proves the import shape. Production Katagami agents should replace it with a language-specific product composition.
```tsx
import { Badge } from "@/components/ui/badge";
import { Button } from "@/components/ui/button";
import {
Card,
CardContent,
CardDescription,
CardFooter,
CardHeader,
CardTitle,
} from "@/components/ui/card";
import { Input } from "@/components/ui/input";
import { Tabs, TabsList, TabsTrigger } from "@/components/ui/tabs";
export function AvantComicsSciFiEditorialShadcnKit() {
return (

## Layout notes
{
"grid": "Desktop uses a 12-column editorial grid with a dominant 7-column story well, a 3-column dossier rail, and flexible micro-panels nested inside. Tablet collapses to 8 columns; mobile becomes a single narrative stack.",
"breakpoints": "Desktop 1440px+, tablet 768px–1023px, mobile 375px–767px with explicit reflow for masthead, metrics, and action clusters.",
"whitespace": "Whitespace behaves like magazine pacing: tight interior spacing inside data modules, then generous gutters and sectional breaks between narrative beats."
